Inter-American Commission on Human Rights: U.S. deportation policy violates fundamental human rights

The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights made public on August 02, 2010 its groundbreaking decision in the case Wayne Smith and Hugo Armendariz et al, v. United States. The Commission found that U.S. deportation policy violates fundamental human rights because it fails to consider evidence concerning the adverse impact of the destruction of families, the best interest of the children of deportees, and other humanitarian concerns. Download Final Report_CIDH_Wayne_Smith[1]
